I hear you mate - but the insurance companies probably have more to answer for here than the government ... living in the area, having family and friends whom have literally lost their homes and every physical asset, I am one of those people who figure even if 50% of the money gets to the people whom need it, that's still better than nothing ... it's like saying I won't give a dollar to World Vision to feed a kid because 50 cents of it gets consumed by process/government etc before it gets to the kid ... long and short of it is some is always going to be eaten up by staffing, government etc, but at least the kid gets 50 cents at the end of the day, which is better than getting nothing and starving ... bad analogy sorry, but you get what I mean ... not out to create world war 3, but the problem is if it were left up to individuals, VERY generally speaking, very little would happen and be organised appropriately to get action where it's needed - probably the onlly REAL benefit of government involvement ...
Just my 876 cents worth!!!! LOL
A rude Bitch and her tribe of kids who come along whilst I am fishing and jump in the River next to my lines and the Woman could not give a rats arse.
